For those two circles
Where perceptions are mise en scène Beginnings look like encore
One on the other, transparent and thin as layers Real as one again/
Grey horizon for confused bro’
Drawing waves between eyes and mouth
Extended feelings emerge following
The cycle shadow leaves while responding
Cause God loves ironie
Les without ending dimensions
On the stage of your eyes
And as expected you show back/
Since the smell of variant scenarios
Genes proudly reappearing
By stunned links as those long and short chains Then all visions count equally/
Now one is cropping the other
Making possibles greater
If you eat your tongue only
So by the european nights
Mixed moods are cutting the road
And a straight-line becomes fractal/
The new stuff for the news
Like rectangles making squares
Maybe for fifteen minutes or fifteen years
The tattooed faces will seem in advance
This is continued and so on
